I'm new to the Codeception framework and trying to run the unit test scripts from this directory:
tests/codeception/frontend/unit
DB configuration for testing has been done in config-local.php.
Now, my question is how to run the test scripts? I've tried to run the following commands from the terminal:
frontend tests
cd frontend
codecept build
codecept run
But it says Codecept: command not found.
Install Codeception via composer:
$ composer require "codeception/codeception"
From now on Codeception (with installed PHPUnit) can be run as:
$ php vendor/bin/codecept
Next, initialize your testing environment:
$ php vendor/bin/codecept bootstrap
Finally, run the following commands from the yii2 tests/codeception/frontend folder:
$ php vendor/bin/codecept build
$ php vendor/bin/codecept run
Follow this Quickstart Guide to read more about Codeception installation process.
Important note: if you want codecept command to work from the command line:
codecept bootstrap
codecept run
... then you need to configure the $PATH variable properly.
The fallowing examples need installation codecept globally. This method work for the current user and linux systems.
composer global require "codeception/codeception=2.1.*"
composer global require "codeception/specify=*"
composer global require "codeception/verify=*"
You can set new path $PATH: in /home/user/.bashrc
export PATH="$PATH:/home/user/.config/composer/vendor/bin"
or set alias in .bashrc
alias codecept="/home/user/.config/composer/vendor/bin/codecept"
Now you can use simply
codecept build
codecept run
